Adam Lowery resigned after he was found to have aided a boy, known as pupil A, in March 2021.

A high school science teacher had admitted to helping a pupil cheat on exams by providing them with answers.

The hearing was told how Mr Lowery, a former assistant headteacher at another school, had been employed at Rainford since September 2019. In March 2021, pupil A, sat three internal exams that were intended to inform his final GCSE grades owing to formal testing being postponed due to covid-19. Top news stories today Richard Spedding, the school’s head of physics, brought the matter to the attention of leadership.

It transpired later that Mr Lowery had in fact given pupil A a pack and told him how to answer the questions. It was said the former teacher - who resigned in May 2021 - initially lied as he was “terrified” of the situation. Pupil A’s results on the three tests were ultimately disregarded for his final GCSE mark.
